Quality Standards

We believe that our success depends on the supply of high-quality products that meet and exceed customer and consumer expectations. Fundamental to this is the responsibility to ensure quality and food safety of all the products we manufacture and distribute.

The following principles are the foundation of North of 49 Naturals’ commitment to quality and food safety:

We manufacture and deliver products that meet the highest quality and food safety standards.
We meet all statutory and regulatory requirements for quality and food safety, including mutually agreed customer requirements.
We maintain a Safe Food for Canadians License and are FDA registered.
We ensure a sustainable quality and food safety culture through the implementation and continuous improvement of effective quality and food safety management systems compliant with HACCP principles.
We validate the effectiveness of the quality and food safety management systems through internal and external audit processes.
We apply a risk assessment methodology to facilitate our ability to achieve quality and food safety system objectives and to continually improve.

We apply and monitor preventive controls to manage hazards associated with our products and processes.
We build quality and food safety capability, mindset, and culture through a structured training program to develop employees’ competencies and technical skills, increase awareness, manage risk and drive increasing levels of excellence across the organization.
We continually review quality and food safety policies, standards and procedures to effectively manage food safety risks associated with changes in products, processes and technologies.
We ensure that suppliers and contractors embrace the same quality and food safety commitments and monitor the materials and services they supply through a supplier verification program and incoming goods inspection.
We communicate quality and food safety requirements to suppliers, contractors, customers and consumers and other relevant interested parties by establishing specifications for ingredients and packaging materials, operational controls, and finished product.

Our Products

We retain the highest amount of antioxidants, keep the vibrant all-natural colour of the fruit and vegetables, capture the original flavours, and 100% guarantee a long-term shelf life of two years with no loss in quality.

Our Production

Producing premium natural products for people who care about what they consume.

North of 49 Naturals creates high quality products using our custom milling and sifting operation and provides custom consumer packaging.

Our Process

North of 49 Naturals works closely with local farmers as well as growers and processors worldwide by turning damaged or imperfect (but still high quality) surplus fruits and vegetables into premium natural dehydrated powders and flakes. We use a proprietary low-thermal drying and milling process that optimizes the nutritional value and effectiveness of our products.

We ensure that the temperature during the drying process is based on the actual product temperature, so the food isn’t overheated. Our proprietary system preserves the volatile flavour and aroma compounds that are compromised in other drying methods.
